“There was nowhere to
get kids clothing in this
town,” said Dauna Setz-
korn.
Setzkorn, along with
daughter, Johna Almond,
decided to take matters
into their own hands. The
result? The Kids Closet—a
new and used children’s
clothing store set to open
at 2175 Broadway Street
in Baker City on Friday,
May 6.
Setzkorn lived in Baker
City for a year back in
2007, then returned to Las
Vegas citing weather and
culture shock. But then
this mom with an M.A.
in Psychology adopted a
seven-year-old boy. “A
good school system” and
“property prices” were
what drew her back to the
area about a year ago.
Store manager Almond
by chance also has a seven-
year-old at home. An es-
thetician formerly, she said
she’s working on obtaining
her Oregon license. She
also “worked in retail for a
while” in Nevada.
Both stressed that the
store isn’t a thrift store, but

rather a higher end resale

one’s excited and knocking
on the door.”
In addition to clothing,
the shop will sell strollers,
crib and toddler bedding,
car seats and bases, por-
